Baked Sweet Potato Fries

I found this recipe titled as "Crusty Mummy Fingers" for Halloween. I served them with Hannah's Blue Cheese Burgers. In the words of Rachael Ray, "Yum-O!"

Baked Sweet Potato Fries

2 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled (about 2 large potatoes)
2 Tbs. water
2 egg whites
1 c. Italian style bread crumbs
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper (cayenne)
cooking spray

1. Heat oven to 450. Spray 2 large cookie sheets with cooking spray.
2. Cut potatoes into 1/2 x 1/2-inch strips. In shallow dish, mix water and egg whites with wire whisk or fork. In another shallow dish, mix bread crumbs, cheese, salt, pepper and red pepper. Working in batches, dip sweet potatoes into egg white mixture, roll in bread crumb mixture. Place potatoes in a single layer on cookie sheets. Spray potatoes with cooking spray about 10 seconds. (I forgot to spray mine and they turned out just fine.)
3. Bake 18-20 minutes, turning after 10 minutes, until crisp.

  1. I made these tonight with yams. They were so yummy. The breading is perfect! Everyone -- even those that don't like yams and sweet potatoes-- ate them and liked them. Such a nice change from the potato wedges we eat all of the time.
